Paw It Forward Dog Training, LLC is a dog training business founded in 2008 and operated by Jeannie Oakley, a trainer with over 17 years of experience. The business specializes in a structured remote collar-based obedience program called the CANINE NEUTRALITY PROGRAM ©️, designed to help dogs achieve calm behavior, off-leash freedom, and real-world obedience through immersive board and train sessions. The program focuses on impulse control commands like Down and Come, and includes off-site outings, hikes, socialization, and lifetime support for owners. In addition to the 3-week intensive board and train program, they offer day and overnight boarding in a home-based, small-capacity setting (max 6 dogs) with 24/7 supervision. Jeannie emphasizes building strong owner-dog relationships through personalized coaching and authentic, compassionate guidance rooted in her personal experiences with rescue dogs and her late husky, Sheena.

The training approach goes beyond treats, using remote collars for precise communication and structure, while still incorporating real-world exposure and play. Clients receive ongoing support after the program ends, including free pack walks and group gatherings. The business is located in Rotterdam Junction, NY, serving local dog owners seeking transformative, long-term behavioral change.

Jeannie also provides free phone consultations to help determine program suitability and offers payment plans for the board and train program, with options to pay in installments over three weeks. Payment methods include ApplePay, check, cash, and PayPal (with fees).
